re: No weld Valveles pulse jet

unless they have a picture of it running, Assume that it dosn't work!

there are many other proven designs that are easier to build then that one. do a search on this forum for "pipewood"

re: Hunting (was "[...] Thrust Stand Controversy")

bruno- I'm not sure I like that design, it is interesting but has some quirks that I don't like. first of all DAO handguns usually have heavier trigger pulls which will negitively effect accuracy at anything past 30 ft, and make it more difficult to get a quick second shot. I think they would have b...

re: RamFan Engine?

There is a valveless engine in the same layout you described

I'm sure someone will post the picture.

this also reminds me of the hughes xh-17, although that used gas turbines to force gas through the rotor before it was burned at the tips.

re: Death of Fo Mi Chin

re: hello firends pulsejet big 150 construction photoss..

it seems to me like the leaf blower will not be sufficient to produce the fine mist of fuel that you need for the engine to start. If at all possible you should try using an air compressor instead. I am very impressed with the overall quality of the work, although it is too bad you couldn't keep the...

Re: re: Rocket Racers

Also the airfoil should be shaped different from normal aircraft. The bottom should have a slight "s" shape to it, convcave at the front and convex at the rear. This helps to raise the pressure at the rear of the wing, otherwise you need a whopping big tailplane like 1/3 of the wing area to stabili...

re: Flying Spaghetti

awesome!

i still think FSM is one of the funniest parodies I've ever seen- what makes it even funnier is the fact that people are capatilizing on it just like they do with real religions.
